oncein, Jicama is a Mexican root vegetable. A cross between a turnip, apple and potato.

Sounds very good. What is jicama? never heard of this unless it has another name. Help please.

You would be better off using regular bacon instead of the turkey bacon. Turkey bacon has a MUCH higher salt content than regular bacon.

Everyone at the party loved its. Its even good without the bacon. I forgot to make the bacon and remembered it as I was walking out the door. But is was still good without it.

Delicious!! The taste is absolutely intriguing-with citrus notes, then the cumin and cilantro, plus delightful texture and crunch! This goes on my list of 'serve it regularly'!
